Here's how you can clean your remote control:

2. Take a piece of cotton cloth and dip it into rubbing alcohol. Use this to wipe the entire thing.

3. Once you're done, dip a cotton swab (Q-tip) into rubbing alcohol and clean around every button. And if it's been a while since you cleaned it, you can use a toothpick to dig things out of the buttons.
